en-us40 - The Jewish Museum - April 11th, 2003 - December 31st, 2035<p>At the heart of The Jewish Museum is its permanent exhibition, <i><a target="_blank" href="http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/exhibitions/CultureAndContinuity">Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey</a></i>, representing one of the world's great opportunities to explore Jewish culture and history through art. This vibrant two-floor exhibition features 800 works from the Museum's remarkably diverse collection of art, archaeology, ceremonial objects, video, photographs, interactive media and television excerpts. It examines the Jewish experience as it has evolved from antiquity to the present, over 4,000 years, and asks two vital questions: How has Judaism been able to thrive for thousands of years across the globe, often in difficult and even tragic circumstances? What constitutes the essence of Jewish identity? <br /><br />The exhibition traces the dynamic interaction among three catalysts that have shaped the Jewish experience: the constant questioning and reinterpretation of Jewish traditions, the interaction of Jews and Judaism with other cultures, and the impact of historical events that have transformed Jewish life. <i>Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey</i> proposes that Jews have been able to sustain their identity, despite wide dispersion and sometimes tragic circumstances, by evolving a culture that can adapt to life in many countries and under various conditions. Survival as a people has depended upon both the continuity of Jewish ideas and values and the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.<br /><br />We invite you to visit the Museum and see <i>Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey</i> in person. Visitors to the Museum can enjoy random access audio guide tours of the exhibition, including a "Director's Highlights" audio guide featuring Joan Rosenbaum, Helen Goldsmith Menschel Director of The Jewish Museum, and a special audio guide for children and families. Audio guides are free of charge with Museum admission and were made possible by Bloomberg.<br /><br /><i>Bring a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/exhibitions/CultureAndContinuity">copy of the exhibit's web page on the Jewish Museum's Web site </a>to The Jewish Museum Admissions Desk with your e-mail address and you will receive one 50% admissions discount.</i></p>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:05:47 -0700https://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/listhttps://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/list

- Housatonic Museum of Art - August 15th, 2011 - October 20th, 2020<p>The Housatonic Museum of Art is pleased to announce <em>Polaridad Complementaria: Recent Works from Cuba, </em>an exhibition that<em> </em>introduces North America to the new generation of influential artists from Cuba. <em> </em><em>Polaridad Complementaria </em>is on view in the Burt Chernow Galleries at the Housatonic Museum of Art from <strong>August 15</strong> through <strong>October 20, 2011<br /> </strong> <br /> Developed by the Centro de Arte Contemporaneo Wifredo Lam, Havana, <em>Polaridad Complementaria</em> offers audiences the opportunity to become acquainted with the island’s current and upcoming artistic talent. More than 40 works of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video and installation art provide a sense of the serious aesthetic and conceptual concerns that characterizes Cuban art today. The 24 artists presented here are mainly young artists who have attained international recognition. The majority of these artists have taken part in fairs and biennials abroad and all have exhibited in Europe, Latin America and were featured in various editions of the Havana Biennial. Several have exhibited in the United States, including René Peña, Abel Barroso, Aimeé García, Yoan Capote, Eduardo Ponjuán, Lázaro Saavedra, Sandra Ramos and Roberto Fabelo.<br /> <br /> Often compared to American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, artist René Peña explores the relationship between individuals within society and the struggle for their own identity. Abel Barroso carves three-dimensional pieces using wood and various printing methods to create a conversation about technology and the third-world. From Zulueta, Cuba, Duvier del Dago takes things one step further, combining drawing with handmade 3D design examining the unattainable, whether it be the material or the ideal. From simplistic to intricately fabricated, these artists create a narrative of Cuba today.<br /> <br /> Diverse in both medium and themes, the artists featured in <em>Polaridad Complementaria</em> understand the power of their art to address a wide range of social issues. The exhibition highlights works that connect the local context with global concerns and universal human issues. After many years, <em>Polaridad Complementaria</em> opens a pathway for dialogue and cultural exchange between Cuba and the United States, two countries with historic ties and common cultural processes, despite troubled relations.<br /> <br /> <strong>Margarita Sánchez Prieto</strong> is curator, researcher and art critic at Centro de Arte Contemporaneo Wifredo Lam in Havana and recipient of the National Prize of Curatorship at the 2000 Havana Biennial. She has curated various exhibitions and lectured extensively on Cuban and Latin American art throughout South America, Europe and Canada. Her work has been published in various art magazines and she is the author of the anthology <em>An Outlook of Latin American Art in the Decade of 1980</em>. <br /> <br /> Director of the Wifredo Lam Contemporary Art Centre and curator and art critic of the Havana Biennial, <strong>Jorge Fernandez Torres</strong> has curated over 15 major exhibitions in Cuba, Spain, Central, and South America. He was a member of the Commission for Cuban Cultural Development of UNESCO in 1997 and on the Advisory Council for the Arts of the National Library of Cuba in 2000 and 2001 as well as Vice Rector of the Higher Institute of Arts in Havana for the past ten years. He is the Author of several texts in catalogues of Cuban art and as professor of contemporary art at the Higher Institute of Arts (ISA), and has lectured all over the world. <br /> <br /> <em>Polaridad Complementaria: Recent Works from Cuba</em> was developed by the <strong>Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam</strong>, Havana and is toured by International Arts &amp; Artists, Washington, DC. </p>Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:50:07 -0700https://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/listhttps://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/list
Molly Dilworth - The James Hotel - May 1st, 2013 - January 1st, 2023<p>Painting for the garden at The James Hotel, 27 Grand Street, NYC. Opening May 1, 2013.<br /><br />Ghost acreage is extraterritorial land annexed for production. Historically, American land was used to produce cotton for space-constrained Europe; today variations of this practice can be found everywhere in industrial production from food to electronics.<br /><br />The designs for the Urban Garden pillar at The James Hotel were generated by sampling from visual and historical markers on 6th Avenue immediately adjacent to the pillar. Examples include the multicolored z-shaped crosswalk pavers, the Avenue of the Americas lamppost medallions and the statue of Juan Pablo Durate who helped found the Dominican Republic and establish its independence from Hati.<br /><br />During the colonial period, residents of Lower Manhattan and Carribean countries shared the experience of being subjects and revolutionaries. While mostly invisible today, evidence of these histories can be found just outside the Urban Garden.</p>Thu, 09 May 2013 13:03:07 -0700https://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/listhttps://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/list
- Queens Museum of Art - November 9th, 2013 - November 9th, 2023<p>The Queens Museum will always be inextricably linked to the 1939 and 1964 World&rsquo;s Fairs, and with a collection of more than 10,000 objects pertaining to the two expositions, the Museum is a key resource to both scholars and fans. In an effort to provide visitors with a greater understanding of the scope of the Museum&rsquo;s enormous holdings of 1939 and 1964 World&rsquo;s Fair artifacts and memorabilia, the newly installed World&rsquo;s Fair Visible Storage and Gallery on the second floor displays more than 900 three-dimensional pieces arranged by the date of each World&rsquo;s Fair, and within these categories, arranged by donor. The dense installation provides an opportunity to study a large number of related works of World&rsquo;s Fair objects up close, and to compare and contrast a wide range of items from 1939 and 1964. The Visible Storage provides unprecedented access to students, scholars, and the general public to explore the collection that was formerly hidden in the Museum&rsquo;s art vault, off-limits to the public. Many of these objects have never been displayed in the history of the Queens Museum.</p>
<p>Visible Storage addresses the challenge of organizing a public exhibition space while fulfilling the traditional purpose of safely displaying and storing an important cross-section of the Museum&rsquo;s collections in a climate-controlled and easily accessible environment. Light sensitive objects, such as documents, photographs and textiles, remain stored in dedicated low-light facilities.</p>
<p>These large glass cases now house more than 90% of the three-dimensional objects in the Museum&rsquo;s World&rsquo;s Fair collection. New acquisitions and private collections that, in most cases, have been donated to the Museum, will be added to the Visible Storage allowing visitors to gain new insight into the history and evolution of the World&rsquo;s Fairs through a visual understanding, and a palpable sense of place by exploring these artifacts and memorabilia. Furthermore, with all the objects donated by a particular collector displayed as a group, the collections within the collection become evident.</p>
<p>As milestone anniversaries of both the 1939 and 1964 World&rsquo;s Fairs near, Visible Storage pays homage to momentous events in the history of Flushing Meadows Corona Park and the Queens Museum. These objects simultaneously evoke the past and a yearning for tomorrow. Linking thematically with the beloved Panorama of the City of New York and its slightly more modest relative, the Relief Map of the New York City Water Supply System, the Visible Storage completes the triumvirate at the heart of the NYC Building&rsquo;s rich history as a World&rsquo;s Fair pavilion. The World&rsquo;s Fair collection is ever-growing, those interested in donating artifacts can email worldsfair@queensmuseum.org or call 718.592.9700 x122.</p>
<p>Also on view within the World&rsquo;s Fair Gallery is <em>ChronoLeap: The Great World&rsquo;s Fair Adventure</em>, a virtual experience and game that transports visitors back in time to the 1964 World&rsquo;s Fair. The World&rsquo;s Fair offered a glimpse of the future, with different pavilions featuring exhibitions showcasing the latest innovations in science and technology as an avenue for better lifestyles. <em>ChronoLeap</em> allows for a virtual experience of the Fair, complete with pavilion tours and a conversation with Fair President Robert Moses. <em>ChronoLeap</em> is organized by Dr. Lori C. Walters, a Research Assistant Professor with the Institute for Simulation and Training and Department of History at the University of Central Florida. Funded by both the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation, the project explores the use of 3D virtual environments as an educational tool to expand the understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.</p>Sun, 08 Dec 2013 13:54:47 -0800https://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/listhttps://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/list
Anselm Kiefer - Mass MOCA - September 29th, 2013 - December 1st, 2028<p>In a major collaboration with the Hall Art Foundation, the keystone of which is a large and long-term exhibition of sculpture and paintings by Anselm Kiefer, MASS MoCA opens a 10,000 square-foot building at MASS MoCA specially re-purposed by the Hall Art Foundation and devoted to the art of Anselm Kiefer.</p>
<p>The exhibition includes <em>&Eacute;troits sont les Vaisseaux (Narrow are the Vessels)</em> (2002), an 82-foot long, undulating wave-like sculpture made of cast concrete, exposed rebar, and lead; <em>The Women of the Revolution (Les Femmes de la Revolution)</em> (1992), comprised of more than twenty lead beds with photographs and wall text; <em>Velimir Chlebnikov </em> (2004), a steel pavilion containing 30 paintings dealing with nautical warfare and inspired by the quixotic theories of the Russian mathematical experimentalist Velimir Chlebnikov; and a new, large-format commission created by the artist specifically for the installation at MASS MoCA.</p>
<p>Anselm Kiefer, who first visited MASS MoCA in 1990 when it was still in the early planning stages, ranks among the best-known and most important of post-World War II German artists living and working today. Born in 1945 in southern Germany during the final days of the collapse of the Third Reich, Kiefer experienced divided postwar Germany firsthand. Across his body of work, Kiefer argues with history, addressing controversial and even taboo issues from recent history with bold directness and lyricism. Kiefer often turns to literature and history as prime source material for his work, as he did, for example, in the suite of paintings that comprise <em>Velimir Chlebnikov </em>(2004).</p>
<p>The artist often builds his imagery on top of photographs, layering his massive canvases with dirt, lead, straw, and other materials that generate a &ldquo;ground&rdquo; that reads literally of the earth itself. Within these thick, impastoed surfaces Kiefer embeds textual or symbolic references to historic figures or places: these become encoded signals through which Kiefer invokes and processes history.</p>
<p>A law student, Kiefer switched his studies to art in 1965 and held his first solo exhibit in 1969. During the early 1970s he studied with conceptual artist Joseph Beuys, whose interest in using an array of cultural myths, metaphors, and personal symbolic vocabulary as a means to engage and understand history inspired Kiefer. The artist has described his own art-making process as stimulated by Beuys&rsquo; philosophies: &ldquo;Painting, for me, is not just about creating an illusion. I don&rsquo;t paint to present an image of something. I paint only when I have received an apparition, a shock, when I want to transform something. Something that possesses me, and from which I have to deliver myself. Something I need to transform, to metabolize, and which gives me a reason to paint.&rdquo; Like Beuys, whose works were often constructed of fragile, organic materials (including blood, fat, and honey), Kiefer&rsquo;s works often incorporate unusual, fugitive materials such as ash, clay,and dried plant materials. With their rough-hewn textures and expansive narrative formats that often evoke charred landscape and historical, sometimes apocalyptic settings, Kiefer&rsquo;s work did not conform to the pared-down Minimalist or Conceptualist movements that were becoming mainstream at the time he was a student. Instead he created massive, dark paintings, books constructed of large sheets of lead, and figurative works that explored German folklore and were inspired by Caspar David Friedrich, among others.</p>
<p>Kiefer&rsquo;s works are often realized in large formats, which in turn demand special exhibition spaces. MASS MoCA is adept at collaborating with artists, collectors, foundations, and cultural institutions to bring important bodies of art to the public, best exemplified by its 2008 partnership with Yale University Art Gallery, the Williams College Museum of Art, and the studio of Sol LeWitt, which realized a 25-year exhibition devoted to LeWitt&rsquo;s monumental wall drawings, a landmark quasi-permanent installation that was named "#1 Museum Exhibition of the Year" by Time magazine. The museum is proud to host an array of distinct curatorial points of view, within its renovated 19th singular factory campus.</p>
<p>The Hall Art Foundation makes available works of postwar and contemporary art from its collection and from the collection of Andrew and Christine Hall for the enjoyment and education of the public. In addition to the dedicated gallery space at MASS MoCA, the Hall Art Foundation operates a contemporary art space in Reading, Vermont.</p>Sun, 13 Apr 2014 18:26:48 -0700https://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/listhttps://www.artslant.com/ny/Events/list

Michael Oatman - Mass MOCA - October 23rd, 2010 - October 31st, 2020<p><em>all utopias fell</em> is a project in three interrelated parts: <em>The Shining</em>, <em>The Library of the Sun</em>, and <em>Codex Solis</em>.</p>
<p><em>The Shining</em> is a 1970s-era &lsquo;satellite&rsquo; that has crash-landed at MASS MoCA. This beautifully reflective, repurposed Airstream trailer &ndash; with large parachutes and active solar panels &ndash; is inspired by an earlier era of pulp aeronauts like Buck Rogers, Tom Swift and Tom Corbett: Space Cadet, as well as the works of Giotto, Jules Verne, NASA, and Chris Marker&rsquo;s 1962 film <em>La Jet&eacute;e</em>. Visitors can climb a staircase in the Boiler Plant and enter into the craft where they will encounter <em>The Library of the Sun</em>. Hybridizing a domestic space, a laboratory and a library, it has the feel of a hermitage, where the occupant will &lsquo;be right back&rsquo;, only it is 30 years later. Videos relating to the sun and its mythology flicker to life on the cockpit&rsquo;s instrumentation panels. In addition to these elements, visitors will be stunned by a stained glass window in what was once the windshield of the vehicle. Once inside the craft, visitors will also be able to view <a href="http://www.massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><em>Codex Solis</em>, a massive field of photovoltaic (PVs) or solar panels</a>. At 50kw, the field will generate 7% of the power consumed by MASS MoCA. In addition to this 230-foot long grid, mirrors are interspersed in the middle of the field, and suggest an absent text. The arrangement of mirrors and solar panels is based on a specific quote by an unnamed author, and will not be revealed by the artist; instead the public will be encouraged to spend time with the piece, watch the reflected sky, and solve the riddle as birds and planes, inverted, fly by.</p>

- Queens Museum of Art - April 10th, 2016 - April 30th, 2018<p style="text-align: justify;">Austrian immigrants Dr. Egon Neustadt and his wife Hildegard were among the earliest collectors of works by famed American artist Louis C. Tiffany (1848-1933) and they played a critical role in reviving interest in Tiffany&rsquo;s lamps in the mid-twentieth century. In 1935, newly married and living in Flushing, Queens, the Neustadts purchased their first Tiffany lamp &ndash; a small Daffodil, for the incredible price of $12.50 &ndash; from a secondhand shop in Greenwich Village. Tiffany&rsquo;s work was decidedly unfashionable at this time; indeed, Louis C. Tiffany died in 1933 and his Tiffany Studios would declare bankruptcy in 1937. But the Neustadts, undeterred by the current disinterest in Tiffany lamps, were struck by the beauty of the colorful glass and enchanted that the shade had been made by an artist from the beloved country they now called home. Over the course of the next fifty years, their collection grew to include more than 200 lamps of all shapes, sizes, and designs. It remains today the largest and most comprehensive lamp collection ever assembled.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>A Passion for Tiffany Lamps</em>&nbsp;highlights the extraordinary scope of the Neustadts&rsquo; collection. Examples of Tiffany&rsquo;s most iconic lamps &ndash; the&nbsp;<em>Wisteria</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Dragonfly</em>&nbsp;&ndash; will be on view, along with unusual lamps produced in limited number, such as the&nbsp;<em>Pond Lily</em>&nbsp;globe and&nbsp;<em>Peacock</em>&nbsp;hanging shade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 1995, The Neustadt partnered with the Queens Museum to share its collection with the New York metropolitan area through a permanent Tiffany gallery and educational programming. This partnership has special significance because Tiffany&rsquo;s glass furnace, bronze foundry, and workshops were located in Corona, Queens, less than two miles from the Museum.</p>

- Asia Society Museum - December 20th, 2016 - July 8th, 2018<p style="text-align: justify;">Even before John D. Rockefeller 3rd (1906&ndash;1978) established Asia Society in 1956, he was deeply involved with the arts and culture of Asia. He firmly believed that art was an indispensable tool for understanding societies, and thus made culture central to the new multidisciplinary organization that would encompass all aspects and all parts of East, South, and Southeast Asia and the Himalayas. From 1963 to 1978, he and his wife, Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller (1909&ndash;1992), worked with art historian Sherman E. Lee (1918&ndash;2008) as an advisor to build the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection, which was later bequeathed to Asia Society. The group of spectacular historical objects they assembled&mdash;including sculpture, painting, and decorative arts&mdash;became the core of the Asia Society Museum Collection and is now world renowned. The Collection is distinguished by the high proportion of acclaimed masterpieces, representing the artistic pinnacles of the cultures that produced them, to which additional high-quality gifts and acquisitions have been added since the original bequest to Asia Society.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The selections in the exhibition showcase the breadth and depth of creative expression across Asia created by artists and artisans with extraordinary skill. To this day the objects remain an important means for sharing the talent, imagination, and deep history of the peoples of Asia with audiences all over the world. <em>Masterpieces from the Asia Society Museum Collection</em> explores the specialized artistry of Asian ceramics, metalwork, and stone carving, and the development of Hinduism and Buddhism in Asia through some of the most refined and accomplished examples of the region&rsquo;s great artistic traditions.</p>

Anna Pausch - Ink Shop Printmaking Center & Olive Branch Press - August 4th - September 30th<p>After traveling abroad in Asia and earning my BFA degree in Printmaking from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston Anna has joined the Ink Shop as our newest Printmaker Associate. She has immediately begun work for this show, Muse.</p>
<p>In Muse, Anna mAnnaeditates and questions the relationship between her ever-shifting present, and the mournful and joyous past through the series of 15-25 en plein air landscape intaglio prints. She pulls both inspiration and comfort from Rembrandt&#39;s Intaglio Landscapes, which were created specifically after his wife&rsquo;s, death in 1642. Landscape as her subject matter, allows her to surrender to the renderings of light, with similar the delicate and even somber atmosphere reflective of Rembrandt&rsquo;s prints.</p>

Elyn Zimmerman - Grounds For Sculpture - August 27th, 2016 - January 7th, 2018<p style="text-align: justify;">In her stone sculptures, Zimmerman balances the sensuous materiality of&nbsp;magnificent&nbsp;slabs&nbsp;of quarried stone with other key elements such as water, light, and landscape.&nbsp; Zimmerman&rsquo;s sculptures reference her attraction to archaic architectural form, a subject also captured in her lush black and white photographs on display in the East Gallery. These photographs, taken during her travels in places such as Peru, India, and Egypt, are joined by images of her many public sculptures, allowing the viewer to make the connection between her large scale public works and the form, light and composition seen in her black and white photography.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Beginning in February 2017, the exhibition continues in the West Gallery which will further explore Zimmerman&#39;s works on paper, juxtaposing works from the artist&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>Elemental&nbsp;</em>series, including topographical photographic collages, ink and wash drawings of moving water, and pastel drawings of clouds from her&nbsp;<em>Heaven&#39;s Breath</em>&nbsp;series.</p>
